Love songs: sweet, emotional, raw, energetic, adoring, fiery. From melodic and lyrical, laid-back acoustic piano to orchestrated to rhythmically primitive indie rock. Each intended as an aesthetic celebration of love, its different phases, from yearning to fulfillment. My instrumental music is an expression of my love of beauty. It is intended to fill the listener with a sense of appreciation for what is beautiful to awaken in the listener a greater awareness of the beauty in themselves, and in others, as well as the beauty in the natural, the spiritual, and the Divine. Some to make you feel, some to make you move. My history: Two years of classical piano lessons between ages seven and nine from an old man who lovingly called me Professor. Years of listening to my mother playing jazzy tunes and my father playing everything from Chopin to a beautiful song he wrote, “A storm is a wild thing.” Started writing instrumental songs at age fourteen, playing the same songs over and over again, for hours and hours, then days and weeks, driving my parents completely mad. Started writing lyrics at seventeen songs of love, songs of loss and of longing, lots of others, too. Graduated from Brandeis in ’84 with Honors in Creative Writing. Spent a number of years developing a relationship with pianos, learning how they feel, how they respond to me, to my fingers, what happens to the piano and to me when these two notes are played and held, or these two, or how about these three. Spent some time in Reggae and African music bands in Philadelphia. Formed a band and wrote in , 4/4, 5/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 10/8, 11/8, 13/8, 15/8. Fell deeply in love five years ago, just broke up.... have 90 more love songs to record.... Decided to share my music with the world. Here’s my music, and a part of me.
